AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok Da can you share one of your favourite side stories from Mahabharata🏹

Ah, you are asking me to choose the best jewel from the treasure trove of jewels.

Well, I could make a little list of the stories that touch me most to the core but here are a couple of them.

First is Arjuna chosing unarmed Sri Krishna as his charioteer instead of his whole army. It shows his superconfidence as a warrior and his superbhakti of surrender and friendship and complete trust in Sri Krishna. He does not chose Sri Krishna for any outer benefit, not even for securing the victory but out of sheer love and longing to be with him even on the battlefield. That is what makes his choice truly exceptional.

The second story is Sri Krishna’s help to Draupadi in the moment of crisis. It reminds us of the promise of the Lord to his devotees in the moment of every crisis provided they call and open to the Divine Grace with complete faith and surrender. 

I also love the story of Uddhava going to Vrindavan to teach Brahmagyana to the gopis but coming back baptized into love. In fact all the stories of Sri Krishna are wonderful and that would make a long list. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Quite a few conventions are broken by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. 1. The Mother appearing on the right side of Sri Aurobindo. Traditionally, Divine Mother’s aspects appear on the left of the Purusha (ex: Sita, Lakshmi, Parvathi). 2. Anti-clockwise climbing of stairs inside the Matri Mandir. 🌅🪷 […]

It is a complete freedom from the past, from the world as organised by the gods. This clean slate is needed to make a clear ground for the New Creation.

The release from the conventions is the release from the laws and norms of the old creation. It is akin to the story of Daksha Prajapati whose laws and norms are overturned by Shiva and the sacrifice of Mata Sati….
